Assassin snails safe with Nerite snails?

[Ross]

I was hoping to add some Assassin snails to mop up my MTS and I have about 8 Nerites will they be safe?I dont want to put them in danger because I love my nerites 😀

I put about 10 assassins in my 720 litre tank which also is home to about 5 Adult Nerites. They have virtually eradicated my MTS, which is great, and they have left the nerites alone.

But this maybe due to them having enough MTS to kill.... 😀

You'll only squash snails, until one of the shells actually slashes your finger. Be careful.

i might get say 2 of these guys and see if they can eradicate some smaller snails (do they eat little ones, about 5mm long?)

Yes, should be no problem.
